A Timely Re-Broadcasting of the Lysistrata: Why a Sex Strike is Not a Good Idea

The Lysistrata is a comedy by Aristophanes. But it's become far more relevant in recent weeks, and not for good reasons. Here it is again, with a new introduction. I hope you'll listen.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Lysistrata and Other Plays, by Aristophanes, translated by Alan H. Sommerstein.
